1.3 In (1.15) the electric field (a vector) is derived from a scalar by the gradient
operation. Since one function of position is easier to deal with than three, it is
worth while concentrating on the scalar function and giving it a name.
Consequently ...

In Chapters 3 and 4 on electrostatics the spherical harmonic expansion of the
scalar potential was used extensively for problems possessing some symmetry
property with respect to an origin of coordinates. Not only was it useful in
handling ...
